Lazarus Rising Games is excited to announce the launch of four meticulously-crafted Starter Decks for OverPower, each offering a unique entry point into the realm of super-powered battles. Tailored to different play styles and power types, these decks provide everything new players need to jump right into the action and veterans to expand their strategic options.

Unpacking the Power

Each Starter Deck is built around a specific power type, ensuring a thematic and cohesive gameplay experience right out of the box. Here’s what players can expect from each deck:

• The Resistance (Combat based): Embrace the spirit of rebellion and strategy. This deck features characters known for their cunning and defiance, perfect for players who enjoy tactical positioning and outsmarting their opponents. Lead with Billy the Kid in Reserve, and Frontline Three Musketeers, supported by John Carter and Zorro.

• Ungodly Power (Energy based): Command the raw forces of the mythical and the mystical. This deck includes powerful beings such as Deja Thoris in Reserve, and Frontline Zeus, alongside the enchanting Wicked Witch and the relentless Angry Mob. Ideal for players who want to harness the sheer force of legendary characters to overwhelm their foes.

• Horror Menagerie (Brute Force based): Delve into the shadows with this chilling assembly of characters that haunt the edges of nightmares. Lead your team with Mina Harker in Reserve, and Frontline Cthulhu, backed by the fearsome Mummy and eerie Headless Horseman. This deck suits players who revel in using fear and surprise as their main tactics.

• Time Detectives (Intelligence based): Solve the mysteries of time with a deck that weaves historical figures with timeless sleuthing. This deck features Victory Harbin in Reserve, Frontline Joan of Arc, Sherlock Holmes, and the enigmatic Time Traveler. It’s designed for players who appreciate a strategy that unfolds with precision and clever foresight.

Beyond character cards, each Starter Deck contains 13 Special cards tailored to the included characters, foundational cards unique to the Starter Decks such as Mission cards, Event cards, Training cards, Ally cards, and Basic Universe cards. These elements are essential for building a solid foundation in the game and are not found in booster packs, offering unique gameplay advantages.

While the characters in the Starter Decks come with a reduced number of specials, the full array of their abilities can be unlocked through booster packs, where each character’s complete set of 5 associated specials is available. This structure allows players to start simple and gradually enhance their decks as they become more involved in the game.

With these Starter Decks, OverPower aims to provide an accessible yet deep strategic experience that encourages players to explore different aspects of the game. Whether you’re battling out historic duels, commanding mythical forces, exploring dark legends, or solving mysteries across time, there’s a Starter Deck ready to set you on your path to mastery.
